Changzhi City

Anciently called Shangdang, Changzhi has the Taihang Grand Canyon with layered peaks, streams and waterfalls, and rich revolutionary heritage and ancient architecture.

Changzhi lies in southeastern Shanxi in the Shangdang Basin between the Taihang and Taiyue mountains, at high elevation. The Taihang Grand Canyon in Huguan County includes scenic areas such as Baquan Gorge and Hongdou Gorge, where sheer cliffs and deep valleys interweave with streams and waterfalls; Wuxiang has the Eighth Route Army Taihang Memorial Hall, and the area also holds quite a few Song and Jin dynasty ancient buildings. Summer is cool and ideal for escaping the heat, and in autumn the mountains are full of red leaves. You can arrive via Changzhi Wangcun Airport or by rail, and a self-drive is advisable for the canyon scenic areas.
